Perfect for keeping moisture away from windows for stored cars, those not used much or ones that tend to get heavily condensated.

Just lob 1 or 2 inside, then microwave the moisture out when the dot on the front changes colour. well worth having at only £7.49 Pingi-in-car-dehumidifier_5_1.jpg

I noticed that too but when you look on the other pages it says this

Packaging and delivery

We operate one, low carraige rate on all orders, within mainland UK of £3.95 – for a single small bottle to a car cover, dehumidifier and AirChamber. Overall, we subsidise carraige substantially. Please provide an e-mail address or mobile phone number so our carriers can send you a 1 hour delivery time slot message.

So there has to be a mistake somewhere on that site. I like the look of them, often get condensation in our car as we forget to take the damp dog towel out oops!

I bought one in Tesco a year or two ago. Can't remember the price, but it looked like the one recommended here. Works well, but if you microwave it too long it stinks. I put mine on top of the radiator (in the house :)) to dry out.

My Dad's old Peugeot misted up frequently. I eventually realised that the Croats who wash & vac the car (£19.00 inside and out) aren't always careful to shut the rear windows properly. They probably move the winders when cleaning. Hence water ingress. They also wash the rubber mats with liberal sloshing of water. They do this outside the car, but wet mats are put back in.

I bought my dehumidifier from Amazon for about £17.00. It goes in the microwave for 20 secs, once a week. Problem solved.

Rice in an old sock worked for Larisa's Gr Cherokee.

Don't cook it first though.

Rice is good for lots of things, I've often hear of people putting their mobile phone in rice when they've accidentally dropped it in water!

Thank you for highlighting the fact that our web developers have yet again cocked up our shipping rates - they should be a lot less than £18 !!!

Yes, we are Forum sponsors but thats not why our prices are higher than Amazon (though are less than Asda and Halfords) - its because we actually advise people about what will work for their needs, trial and test the products ourselves ( I use one of these in my old Boxster) and guarantee that our stock is genuine, offer a returns service and the open opportunity to talk to a real person who actually knows what they are talking about.

Amazon will be the death of small businesses like mine, so in the same way that people are encouraged to use the High Street independent stores, this needs to be extended to specialist on-line stores like mine. Use us or lose us.

I'm happy to post these to phone orderers at £3.45 for up to 3 units. 01780 749449.

You are absolutely right. The days of being able to talk to someone who actually knows anything about their products is disappearing fast. It's always worth a little extra to have confidence that you are using the right thing.

The new ones have the microwave time printed on them - 6 minutes. Mine works a treat and no smells at all.

Ditto. I have a couple of these (different brand) although no indicator on them. Can't remember where from but they are great. They soak up lots of water and then I leave them on the radiator to dry off.

If you constantly get condensation inside, check the carpets for water ingress as there's no point removing the water if it's going to come back in!

Wherever you choose to buy them or whatever you use it's a lot better with the moisture under control as a lot settles in places you don't see and it doesn't do your car any good.
